Wink Re: Mistakes

Always shave down the metal AWAY from the RC!!! And then we learned that its not always the programmers fault...

Also, 2 days ago at Cage Match in Indianapolis. Make sure you use a insulated tool when working on batteries. It turns out that the negative side which was taped up had been pulled out slightly, and i did not see the revealed wire. So the all metal multitool that i was using made contact with both polarities and sparks flew. Then i pulled the tool away from the battery. Only then did i realize how hot the tool had become. Now it has burn marks on the tool i was holding, and i could not feel my fingers while driving in the elimination round. In order to remind me, i think i may make shirts that say "Samir, don't electrocute yourself" with a pic of a body getting hit by a lightning bolt inside one of those red circles with a slash down the middle.
